Hi @stedutton
Thanks for your query.
When you are in the support group it means that you are not required to undertake work-related activities, such as training or condition management programmes.
It also means that you are considered to have a severe, lifelong disability, illness or health condition, and are unlikely to ever be able to move into work.
I hope this answers your question.
Kind Regards
